McCain's Big Gamble Becoming More Uncertain


Tuesday, September 2, 2008
By Peter Wallsten
Los Angeles Times

ST. PAUL., Minn. -- Only four days ago, the nation's voters were asked to accept John McCain's assurances that Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, known to only a tiny portion of the public and barely to McCain himself, was fully suited to be vice president.

But now the magnitude of McCain's gamble is becoming clear.

For every piece of the portrait of Palin that the McCain campaign sketches, a far more complicated picture is drawn.

1. Proud grandparents... NOT
"The youthful mother of five whose placement on the ticket was meant to reinforce traditional values has revealed that her unmarried teenage daughter is pregnant, information that the family and the campaign said they had hoped to keep private."

So they hoped to continue to lie basically.

If they're so proud, by so private?

3. OK, fine. . She's fully suited...but you're looking worse and worse

LMAO

and that may have been the whole point behind the religious right picking her for you...they never were fond of you. And I'm not entirely sure Bush thinks as much of you as you seem to think he does.....he enjoyed you groveling to him after 2000....and he's a petty little fuck.

You're 72, you won't run again in 4 years when you lose this year...but Sarah's young and she energizes the religious right...and as guv of Alaska/anwr/natural gas, her thinking pleases Cheney and the rest...and now she's a name on the national stage

Politicians have survived worse than Palin is getting right now


but somehow McCain...I don't think you will...and I'm starting to truly believe you were never meant to


just pondering...merely pondering
